Mu Yao glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Gu Bei scratched his head in embarrassment and quickly changed his words.
"Uh... No. Miss Mu, are you here to see Mr. Lu?"
Mu Yao nodded.
"Has he gotten off work?"
"He is not upstairs."
"What?" Mu Yao stood up and subconsciously glanced at the front desk lady, who was doing nothing.
The front desk lady had an innocent look on her face. She didn't know when the president had left either.
"Mr. Lu has gone to the old campus of A University. There will be a reconstruction of the old city soon, so he has gone there for a walk."
Before Gu Bei could finish, Mu Yao had already run out like the wind and hailed a taxi to go straight to A University.
Gu Bei snapped his fingers from behind.
"Mr. Lu, this is all I can help you with."
...
Lu Jinchen went to the noodle shop again.
The owner was already packing up. Seeing his regular customers, he explained in embarrassment, "Mr. Lu, our shop will be moving after today. The new shop has been renovated."
Lu Jinchen nodded and went to his usual seat.
"The usual?"
"I'm waiting for someone today."
The boss didn't ask much and went to work.
Lu Jinchen sat down and looked out of the window. Suddenly, an image appeared in front of him.
It was summer.
People frequented the noodle shop.
A plain-dressed female student sat by the window. She had a high ponytail and was wearing a white t-shirt. She was eating a bowl of noodles wholeheartedly.
It was a scorching hot summer.
She was eating the kind of noodles with a lot of chilies, so she was sweating profusely.
She stopped eating and casually wiped her sweat with a napkin before continuing her meal.
She ate it with relish as if it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Lu Jinchen sat in the car and watched her for a long time until she finished eating and left.
Without thinking, he also entered the small noodle shop and ordered a bowl of noodles that she had ordered.
In the end, Lu Jinchen had diarrhea for three days.
...
When Mu Yao rushed to the entrance of A University, she found that the building was empty. She heard that the new campus had been built and that this place would be demolished in a few days.
Jiancheng Commercial Street.
Mu Yao slowly walked along the courtyard wall.
Familiar laughter seemed to come from the wall again.
Lu Jinchen wasn't a student of A University. Because he was famous in City A, he was often invited to give speeches at A University.
Lu Jinchen was young, handsome, and had a successful career. His handsome face quickly became the focus of all the girls in the school.
As for what happened after that...
How did she get to know Lu Jinchen?
Mu Yao didn't want to think about it.
She did not want to recall any memory related to Lu Jinchen.
In a daze, she arrived at the noodle shop that she used to frequent.
There was nothing special about the noodle shop, but it was affordable.
It was a good place for Mu Yao, who had to rely on a scholarship and work to finish college.
Lu Jinchen was indeed inside.
The noodle shop was small and old. There were only six tables, and the corners of the tables had been smoothed out by the people.
But it was clean.
Lu Jinchen was sitting by the window. He wore a white shirt and black pants, which was a rare casual outfit.
He just sat there quietly with his hand on his forehead. His head slightly lowered, and his eyes drooped. No one knew what he was thinking.
From the side, he looked like he was enveloped in a golden halo, exuding an indescribable elegance.
It was as if he had walked out of a painting.
Mu Yao was in a daze. She had used to describe Lu Jinchen's appearance as a devil.
Such a person could only be seen from afar.
The price she had to pay for getting close to him was not something an ordinary person like her could bear.
"Hello, what do you want to eat?"
The boss saw Mu Yao coming in and greeted her warmly.
"Thank you. I'm looking for someone." Mu Yao smiled.
Hearing this voice, Lu Jinchen looked up as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He looked at Mu Yao. Her face was still the same, and time had not left any traces on her face.
On the contrary, Lu Jinchen had a more mature charm.
However, the smile on Mu Yao's face was no longer there, and the eyes she looked at him with were no longer gentle. There were only coldness and disgust.
A hint of hurt flashed across his eyes.
"Lu Jinchen, what do you want?"
Mu Yao stood in front of Lu Jinchen and went straight to the point.
